Question

1. which of the following is not a function of quotation marks?

indicating the exchange of dialogue between characters in a story

Explanation:

• Quotation marks are used for dialogue (first option), to signal sarcasm (third option), and to repeat exact words (fourth option).
• The title of a lengthy piece of literature (like a book) is typically italicized, not emphasized with quotation marks (quotation marks are more for shorter works like articles or poems in some cases, but not for lengthy literature titles).
